  Mexico a transterritorial nation...

  This book is dedicated to the study of the Mexican nation, providing an overview of its two-hundred-year evolution, and particularly analyzing its contemporary profile, which is characterized by unprecedented social reconfiguration sustained by Mexicans residing abroad. As we will show throughout this book´s chapters, the Mexican nation has over the past two centuries followed a complex, sinuous trajectory, conflictive at many points, which step by step built the nation as we know it today, a nation that has not by any means exhausted its vitality or its impetus for continuing to evolve.From now on, the Mexican nation cannot be understood solely on the basis of the population residing within its borders. It must be recognized comprehensively, considering, simultaneously and in equal conditions, people living abroad who hold Mexican nationality. The path ahead is extraordinarily complex, without a doubt. Taking into account its social composition, the 21st century Mexican nation is based and reproduces itself simultaneously within and outside of the territory; therein lies its transterritorial nature.The author is a professor in the UNAM University Program in Development Studies. He has been president of the El Colegio de la Frontera Norte and Commissioner for the National Migration Institute. He is a member of the National System of Researchers and has published widely on topics of migration, northern and southern border studies, regional political issues and modernization of local governments.

  The Mirror and the Palette -...

  A dazzlingly original and ambitious audiobook on the history of female self-portraiture by one of today's most well-respected art critics.Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have—and, of course, continue to do so—often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval.In The Mirror and the Palette, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it, and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel, and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity, and bravery.

  Flavian Dynasty - The Era of...

  The Flavian dynasty, which ruled the Roman Empire from AD 69 to 96, is remembered as a period of remarkable transformation, spanning the reigns of Emperor Vespasian and his two sons, Titus and Domitian. This dynasty emerged during a time of political instability, marked by the tumultuous civil war of 69, often referred to as the Year of the Four Emperors. The Roman Empire was in turmoil after the deaths of emperors Galba and Otho, and the brief rule of Vitellius, who assumed the throne in mid-69. However, Vitellius' reign was soon contested by legions in the Eastern provinces, who declared Vespasian their emperor. This marked the beginning of the Flavian rise to power. The Second Battle of Bedriacum was a pivotal moment, securing the Flavian cause and leading to their eventual triumph. On December 20, 69, Vespasian entered Rome and, the following day, was officially declared Emperor by the Senate, establishing the Flavian dynasty. 
  Despite its relatively brief reign, the Flavian dynasty witnessed several notable events that shaped Roman history. One of the most significant challenges of Titus' rule was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79, which buried the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and others under layers of ash and lava. This catastrophic event, along with the subsequent fires and pestilence that ravaged Rome in 80, deeply affected the empire. On the military front, Titus' most enduring legacy was the brutal siege of Jerusalem in 70, following the Jewish revolt that began in 66. The city was destroyed, and its temple, a symbol of Jewish religious and cultural identity, was looted and razed. The military campaigns of the Flavians also extended beyond the Mediterranean; Gnaeus Julius Agricola, during his command in Britain (77–83), achieved remarkable victories that expanded Roman influence in the British Isles.

  Full of amusement, this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community.  
  Written in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors, it tells – amongst others – such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children rabbit-poaching, on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver, the re-appearance of a dead girl to her newly-born sister… along with a number of love-hate incidents, like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair, before he walks off with the big trophy!
